[Laszlo-dev] Projects in development, DHTML runtime required.

[Benjamin Shine]

Actually, the binary installers for windows are *supposed* to be in  
the nightly builds, too, but since 7149 our nightly windows builds  
have been broken. I tried to fix this on friday, but maybe we haven't  
had any trunk builds scheduled since then. I'll investigate.
